Simple Notes Sync

Simple Notes Sync is an Android application designed for managing notes and checklists with a focus on privacy and user control. The app allows users to create text notes and checklists, supporting features such as tap-to-check items and drag-and-drop organization. Notes can be organized into colored folders, and users have the option to pin important notes to the top for easy access. The interface offers both grid and list views, with adjustable columns ranging from one to five, and notes can be sorted by title, date, or type. A notable aspect of Simple Notes Sync is its commitment to privacy; all data resides on the user's device by default. For those wanting access to their notes across multiple devices, the app provides synchronization capabilities with any WebDAV server, including compatibility with services such as Nextcloud and ownCloud. Users can control synchronization settings, choosing to sync on save, on open, on Wi-Fi, periodically, or at device boot. Additional options include Wi-Fi-only synchronization and VPN support. The application is lightweight, with an installation size under 5 MB, and is designed to operate fully offline. It does not display ads or engage in user tracking. Recent updates have introduced features like archiving notes to remove them from the main view without deletion, independent folder sorting, default color selection for new notes, adjustable note preview lengths, and a fenced code-block button in the Markdown toolbar. PDF export functionality has been improved to render Markdown formatting accurately. Simple Notes Sync is available through F-Droid as a free and open source app, making it accessible to users who prioritize transparency and control over their data. Its feature set is tailored for individuals seeking a private, efficient, and customizable solution for note-taking and checklist management on Android devices.
